Abstract

ABSTRACT People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have a deficiency in neural development, which affects their communication, social, and cognitive skills. There are several treatments that help these people, but do not cure them of this disorder. These treatments, along with ICT, are able to capture the attention of the autistic and support them in their development. This research is a systematic review of the scientific literature and aims to determine the criteria to be considered in the development of an application software for autistic children. For which, a compilation of 49 articles was made, related to the topic in question, which were taken from the databases Scopus, Scielo, Redalyc, Dialnet and IEEE Explore. In this work it was obtained as a result that the mobile applications are more used, in addition, these are oriented to develop the social skill of the autistic and it is necessary to include an adult for the use of these application software.
